Bra Size Calculator

Compare two transparent bra sizing references from US Knix and UK Brastop using underbust and fullest-bust measurements.

Bra Size Chart

Compare common US, UK, and EU bra band references and cup starting points.

Bra Sister Sizes

Find nearby bra sister sizes that preserve roughly similar cup volume.

US to UK Bra Size

Compare US bra sizes with UK band references and account for cup-letter differences.

UK to US Bra Size

Compare UK bra sizes with US band references and cup-system differences.

Bra Size in Inches

Look up source-specific US Knix or UK Brastop bra fitting references from inch measurements.

Use a full size, not only a cup letter

Cup volume changes with band size, and letter sequences differ between systems. Compare the band and cup together when converting or trying a sister size.

Fit checks come after the estimate

A calculated size is a starting point. Band support, cup containment, wire placement, strap comfort, and the brand’s own construction decide whether the bra actually fits.

Keep band, cup and measurement in the same comparison

Use measurements as the starting point, then treat labeled sizes as a fit reference rather than a guarantee. Do not convert only a cup letter or only a band number when the task involves a complete bra size.

Use underbust and bust as the stable measurements, then verify the full size with the brand because cup progression and fitting method can vary.

Two independent source methods, not one universal bra formula

Our bra calculator lets you choose Knix US (published underbust ranges and measured cup anchors) or Brastop UK (its own whole-inch band and cup difference guide). The two outputs are not claimed as interchangeable national labels.

The reference band chart on other bra pages illustrates a Wacoal Singapore-style centimeter-underbust convention; it should not be combined with either calculator method to manufacture a size. Fullest-bust and underbust measurements, bra shape and the intended product chart all matter.

How this guidance is checked

These sources support the measurement method and help check real-world variation. They are not presented as one universal brand-size table.
